90+6'
FT: Southampton 0-2 Arsenal. A howler from McCarthy helps the Gunners get a first win since the restart. His error allowed Nketiah to open the scoring before sub, Willock tucked in a late rebound. Southampton's bad day was compounded by a straight red card for Stephens.

SAINT CHANGE: Vestergaard on, Ings off.
90+1'
SAINTS CHANGE: Hojbjerg off, Romeu on.

That will surely be it. A massive three points for Arteta and Co after a very tricky return to action last week.
87'
GOAL! Arsenal make the hosts pay. Lacazette has two bites at goal from the free kick. The first hits the wall, the second is saved by McCarthy, with Willock gobbling up the rebound.
85
RED CARD! Jack Stephens is shown a straight red for taking out Aubameyang as they both chased a loose ball just outside the Saints area.
83'
Southampton still pushing and probing, hoping to find a crack in that Arsenal backline.

80'
ARSENAL CHANGE: Nketiah off, Lacazette on.
79'
SAVE! Martinez produces a super save to thwart Shane Long before gathering the rebound at the feet of Ings.
77'
Arsenal are readying a double change to try and see this out with some fresher legs.
75'
OPTA STAT: This is Arsenal's third Premier League match played on Thursday this season, all of them against clubs from the south coast. The Gunners lost at home to Brighton in December, before drawing at Bournemouth later that month in Mikel Arteta's first game in charge.
73'
Redmond lashes a shot into the side netting after chesting down Ceballos' miscued clearance on the left side of the area.
71'
ARSENAL CHANGE: Tierney off, Kolasinac on.
70'
Drinks break. It's baking hot out there. Some don't like the number of stoppages for fluids, but it makes sense, especially on a day like this.
69'
Armstrong takes on Tierney but can't find the target with his rising left-foot shot.
68'
67'
McCarthy just nips in front of Nketiah to pick up a delightful attempt at a through ball from Aubameyang.
